The goal was to facilitate a visionary and rigorous conversation among young athletes, lead- ers, academics, and experts about the values that the world of sport can advance. The Summit emphasized the key principles of Respect, Excellence, and Friendship drawn from the Olympic tradition while emphasizing their alignment with Japanese cultural values. It paralleled the resilience and commitment of celebrated athletes with the honesty and firm resolve of Tokyo in addressing the 3/11 crisis to rise to the occasion of potentially hosting the 2020 Olympics. The Summit gathered 40 international participants, with 20 experts, distinguished leaders, and celebrated athletes and 20 young leaders and rising talent. They were invited to speak on stage at two plenaries and six breakout sessions alongside 15 distinguished Japanese public figures. Young Leaders included several outstanding participants from the London Sympo- sium and new participants under the age of 35 in recognized leadership roles relating to sports values. The event was open to the public in Tokyo and received nearly 1000 audience members. A first event in London in June 2012—the Olympic Values Symposium—launched the series. The two-day symposium ad- dressed three overarching themes: the meaning of Olympic values in the twenty-first century; how to realize them more effectively in sport, at the Games and beyond; and how to leverage them for broader goals, nationally and internationally, including human rights and peace. This report aims to highlight findings from the three days of Summit proceedings and incorporate the feedback of our Young Leader participants in preparation for the next phase of this continuing conversation on sport, peace, and development.
